initctrectgmphd

Create constant turn-rate rectangular target gmphd filter

Syntax

phd = initctrectgmphd

phd = initctrectgmphd(detections)

Description

phd = initctrectgmphd initializes a constant turn-rate rectangular target gmphd filter with zero components in the filter.

phd = initctrectgmphd(detections) initializes a constant turn-rate rectangular target gmphd filter based on information provided in object detections, detections. The function initializes a constant turn-rate rectangular state with the same convention as ctrect and ctrectmeas, [x; y; s; θ; ω; L; W]. See Algorithms for the meaning of these variables.

.

Note

This initialization function is not compatible with trackerGNN, trackerJPDA, and trackerTOMHT System objects.

Examples

Initialize gmphd for Rectangular Target

Load detections generated by a rectangular target and the corresponding truth.

load ('rectangularTargetDetections','detections','truthState');

Initialize the filter using detections.

phd = initctrectgmphd(detections);

Display the estimated state and the truth state.

Input Arguments

detections — Object detections

cell array of objectDetection objects

Object detections, specified as a cell array of objectDetection objects. You can create detections directly, or you can obtain detections from the outputs of sensor objects, such as radarSensor, monostaticRadarSensor, irSensor, and sonarSensor.

Example: detection = objectDetection(0,[1;4.5;3],'MeasurementNoise',[1.0 0 0; 0 2.0 0; 0 0 1.5])

Output Arguments

phd — gmphd filter

gmphd object

Gaussian mixture PHD filter, returned as a gmphd object.

Algorithms

Initialization Process

• You can use initctrectgmphd as the FilterInitializationFcn property of trackingSensorConfiguration.

• When detections are provided as input, the function adds one component to the density, which reflects the mean of the detections. When the function is called without any inputs, a filter is initialized with no components in the density.

• The function uses the spread of measurements to specify the length and width of the rectangle.

• The function configures the process noise of the filter by assuming a unit acceleration and a unit yaw-acceleration standard deviation.

• The function specifies a maximum of 500 components in the filter.

• The function configures the covariance of the state using a unit covariance in observed dimensions.

Rectangular Target State

The rectangular target state contains [x; y; s;θ; ω; L; W]:

Variable	Meaning	Unit
x	Position of the rectangle center in x direction	m
y	Position of the rectangle center in y direction	m
s	Speed in the heading direction	m/s
θ	Orientation angle of the rectangle with respect to x direction	degree
ω	Turn-rate	degree/s
L	Length of the rectangle	m
W	Width of the rectangle	m
